origin of the Clam chowder.

The poet, Longfellow, liked elam-chowder
and interested himself in its history. He once
told French lady that the dish was Of
French origin. The lady looked up in aston
ishment and uttered most significant Com
ment duncl Unto which Longfellow replied
that the French originally settled on the Dor
ders Of New England, and Mother Necessity
soon taught them how to stew clans and fish
in layers with bacon, sea biscuit (eraekers)
and other ingredients in kettle (chaudiere).
Now, from the French the Indians learned
Roman Catholic religion and little Of the
French language and a great deal Of the dish
which the new corners had invented. The In
dams were not apt in the pronunciation or in
the significance Of French, and when they
heard the Gaul speak Of the chaudiere the In
dian supposed it referred to the food and his
nearest approach to the pronunciation was
chawder-the name which early English fish-
ermen and settlers learned from the Indian,
and which the Anglo-SaxOn in the New
World further corrupted into chowder.

Belfast's Old Graveyard.
belfast Age.l


In digging the trench on Union street for
the water pipes where the street crosses the
old graveyard the remains of several bodies
were found. The collins were mostly black
walnut and were generally In quite good con-
dition except the covers, which were badly
decayed. The bodies were almost entirely
gone nothing being left but some of the
bones of the legs. The bodies were not dis
turbed by the workmen, who dug under and
around them. In one or two cases where
the collins were entirely gone the bones were
reburied in the same place where they were
found The old graveyard where these re-
mains were found was the first one In Bel
fast on this side of the river, the first inter-
ment in it having been made December ~,
1890. 1t was used as a burying ground for
nearly 80 years. being the principal one in
town until Grove cemetery was established
about 1887. After that most OF the bodies In
the old graveyard were removed to the new
one. but it seems that many were left, as on
previous occasions in the past years bodies
have been dug ND their.

waIdo's Probable centenarIan.

The papers of this State are just now pub:
fishing items in regard to the old people OF
thesState, and lists of such persons. Some
of them have mentioned Chesley Heal Of
Searsmont, as being the oldest person In
Maine, putting his age at los. III he was
really OF that age he would no doubt be at
the head Of the list of centenarians In our
State, but 1t is certain that he Is not so old
as that by several years. There Is no record
of Mr.. Heals birth, but parties who have
taken pains to look up the matter have as
certained that his age Is less than los by
some years. He Is no doubt entitled to a
place among Names eentenarians, however,
and Is without doubt the Oldest person In
Waldo county.

a justice of the peace. Her brother-in-law,
Mr.. Veazey, is the lord of the manor. The
place known as The Howe is large, and a
park of forty acres, near the Manor is given
for the free use Of the village people for
their athletic games. Her brother has three
thousand acres for shooting. The family is
quite large, and Miss Horner, whose atten-
ton had been early directed to works Of
charity and Denevolence, determined upon a
useful career and chose that Of service as
nurse in the hospitals. After the necessary
course Of training, and service in leading
hospitals, in few years she was chosen one
of the directors Of nurses to accompany
the English army in the Zulu war. 1t
was in this service that she distinguished
herself in such a manner that upon her re-
turn she was given the Victoria Order of the
Red Cross. At different times she has also
been given other medals and honors. In the
Zulu campaign her bravery and gentleness
and wonderful endurance and self-sacrifce
are said to have fully entitled her to the
character of heroine. She was at Blockley
Hospital about three years. Her husband
first met her on shipboard while returning
from Europe last summer. Miss Horner had
been eniOying a vacation.
